Definitions
- Conjugated polymers such as polypyrroles , polythiophenes, polyanilines , polyphenylenes and derivatives thereof are known for their electroactive nature, which is widely described in review works such as the "Handbook of Organic Conducting Polymers” (T.J.

- the polymers according to the invention may be used in particular for the detection of biologically active species which may be present in a sample and which may react with the antiligand or grafted antiligands. Indeed, as shown above, it is observed that the conjugated polymers functionalized in the 3-position of their heterocycle and on to which are grafted one or more antiligands, after reaction with one or more ligands, exhibit a modification of the electrochemical response with respect to a reference polymer which has not reacted with the ligand or ligands of a biological medium, this being visualized by a change in the oxidation potential.
- This variation in the oxidoreduction of the polymer in the electrochemical voltammogram inparts a scavenger-type function and may thus be used for a quantitative measurement of the biologically active species, either by variation of the potential, at fixed current, or by variation of the current at fixed potential, or alternatively by the production of field effect microelectrochemical transistors .
- the polymers of the invention may also be used for the extraction of biologically active species in solution.
- the biologically active species in solution combines strongly with the antiligand grafted on to the polymer chain, such as a bioactive peptide or a polynucleotide, thereby making it possible to extract the biologically active species selectively from a medium.
- This type of extraction may be performed in vitro or even in vivo when the support polymer is biocompatible, such as polypyrrole for example.
- the polymers of the invention may be a source of release, from one medium into another medium, of biologically active species (enzymes or the like) .
- the functionalization of the electroactive conductive polymers of the invention, such as polypyrroles, by groups showing recognition with respect to compounds of biological interest may be extended to recognition of nucleic acids (NAs) .
- NAs nucleic acids
- the grafting of polynucleotides or oligonucleotides, ODN, along the conjugated chain of polymers should allow the discrimination of corresponding NAs or NA fragments within a biological medium.
- This recognition will be performed by selective hybridization between the ODN, grafted on to the polymer, and the corresponding NA present in the external medium, in which the film of functionalized polymer is immersed, just like the "peptide/enzyme” recognition described later.
- the "ODN/NA” complexation results in a modification of the physicochemical properties of the conjugated polymer, characterization of which will make it possible to confirm the presence of the desired NA.
- the essential point relates to the nature of the physicochemical properties of the polymer destined for modification during the "ODN/NA" recognition. Indeed, in order to develop a rapid, sensitive and quantitative method for measuring the presence of NA, the aim of the present invention relates to the development of electroactive materials whose electrochemical response will be modified after "ODN/NA” hybridization.
- the modification will relate to a potentiometric-type variation, such as variation of the oxidation potential of the polymer, or an amperometric-type variation, by variation of the oxidation (or reduction) current observed at a given potential.
- electrochemical response may be measured quantitatively, the functionalized polymer films being used either as electrochemical scavengers of amperometric or potentiometric type, or alternatively in a field effect microelectrochemical transistor structure, as has been described above in the case of enzymatic recognition starting with peptides grafted on to polypyrrole.
- the advantages of measurements of this type are the speed, the sensitivity and the possibility of readily producing matrix cards of 2n measuring elements, containing n target and nontarget ODNs, which are thus capable of rapidly discriminating between the presence and absence of genes in a medium.
- a second essential point relates to the fact that in order to obtain an electrochemical response to a recognition phenomenon, the functionalization in the 3-position of a heterocyclic (pyrrole) ring is essential.
- the polymers of the invention are electroactive polymers in which either all of the monomer units are functionalized with an antiligand such as an oligonucleotide, or only some of the monomer units are thus functionalized.
- the monomer units may be functionalized with identical or different antiligands, and in the latter case the polymers of the invention may be used for the detection of several target ligands within the same sample.
- the polymers of the invention may be prepared by the following different routes: a) Totally functionalized polymers.
- the first step relates to the functionalization of the monomer, such as pyrrole, by an antiligand such as a given oligonucleotide.
- the second step then relates to the polymerization of this monomer, resulting in a film of polymer in which all the monomer units are functionalized. b) Partially functionalized copolymers.
- the partial functionalization of a polymer film may also be performed starting with a conjugated polymer film, into which chemical groups compatible with the grafting of an antiligand such as an oligonucleotide are introduced beforehand.
- a monomer containing a grafting synthon is first produced, such as [N-3- hydroxysuccinimidepyrrole] .
- the synthon [N- hydroxysuccinimide] is known to allow the subsequent grafting of an oligonucleotide.
- This monomer is subsequently polymerized or copolymerized with another pyrrole derivative.
- the polymer film obtained is then immersed into the reaction medium containing an oligonucleotide, and the reaction to graft this oligonucleotide to the pyrrole monomers is then carried out.
- This grafting in fact only involves some of the pyrrole monomer units constituting the polymer.
- the polypyrrole (1) was chosen as conjugated polymer support on account of its biocompatibility (H. Naarmann, personnel communication) .
- An acetyl spacer arm A is grafted between carbon atom 3 of the pyrrole ring and the peptide substituent in order to preserve the conductivity and the electroactivity of the corresponding functionalized polypyrrole.
- Various peptides, with their carboxylic end function unprotected or protected in methyl ester form, were chosen for their biological pertinence and were grafted on to a pyrrole-acetic acid monomer, PyA (1).
- pyrrole-acetic acid PyA (1)
- pyrrole (Glycine- dPhenylalanine) Py(Gly-DPhe) (2)
- proteolytic enzymes such as carboxypeptidase A (Sigma) and trypsin (Sigma)
- Example 2 Polymerization These monomers were polymerized electrochemically on a 0.7 cm 2 platinum electrode, as well as on a platinum grille of surface area 10 cm 2 in propylene carbonate medium with 0.5 M NaCl, at a constant potential of 0.8 V/SCE. Thick polymer films are obtained, in thicknesses of up to 10 ⁇ m. As shown in Figure 3, the electroactivity of these polymers was confirmed by cyclic voltammetry in 0.5 M H20-NaCl medium, at a neutral pH of 7. The oxidation potential values, of the order of 0.30 V/SCE, close to that of unsubstituted polypyrrole, confirm the electroactivity of these polypyrroles functionalized with dipeptides .
- Example 3 Recognition of carboxypeptidase A
- carboxypeptidase A with which (Gly-DPhe) is known to form stable complexes at neutral pH. Solutions of increasing concentration of carboxypeptidase A, ranging from 1 mg to 5 mg in 5 cm3 of 0.5 M H20-NaCl, were analysed.
- nonspecific electrodes such as unsubstituted polypyrrole, or poly (3, 4, 5 or 6) are immersed in this solution, a voltammogram identical to that obtained in Example 2 is observed, without any modification.
- poly (pyrrole (Gly-DPhe) ) poly
- the released enzyme was characterized conventionally by the Bradford test, involving measurement of the enzymatic activity with Coomassie brilliant blue, and by the use of a standard bovine serum albumin.
- a poly (Gly-DPhe) film is used containing 5 x 10-6 monomer units, corresponding to a polymerization charge of 1 coulomb, a significant amount, 400 icrograms, of carboxypeptidase A was obtained after release into an acidic medium.
- this amount of released enzyme shows that about 1 molecule of enzyme is complexed per 200 monomer units of (pyrrole-dipeptide) , which appears to be reasonable given the difference in size (of about a factor of 100) .
- This result also shows that the enzyme must be distributed inside the polymer film, thereby demonstrating the permeability of this film with respect to the enzyme. Comparable results were obtained when trypsin was used as the enzyme.
- this grille electrode When this grille electrode is placed at a potential at which the variation of the voltammogram as a function of the enzyme concentration is at a maximum, at about 0.2 V in the case represented in Figure 4, the conductivity of the polymer varies considerably with the enzyme concentration. A potential then applied between source and drain electrodes makes it possible to obtain an amplified signal, this transistor operating according to the principle of a field effect transistor.
- This process consists in using a membrane or electrode based on the abovementioned materials, and in placing it in contact with the medium in which the desired biologically active species coexists with other species.
- the selective affinity provided by the grafted peptide with respect to this desired species will cause complexation of the latter with the peptide grafted on to the polymer of the electrode or of the membrane.
- This membrane or electrode is then removed from the analysis medium and introduced into another medium, referred to as the recovery medium.
- the recovery medium containing a support salt of NaCl type, the electrode or membrane is subjected to an electrochemical oxidation, which causes the expulsion of protons, by means of the carboxylic acid groups, up to a pH which is sufficient for the dissociation and release of the desired species.
- the poly(l, 2) copolymer, or the poly (2) polymer with its carboxylic function free is prepared in membrane or electrode form, optionally using a polycationic or polyanionic support polymer of the polystyrene sulfonate type or alternatively perfluoro membrane type such as NAFION.
- This possibly composite electrode or membrane constitutes the junction between two compartments A and B, as represented schematically in Figure 7. An example of the continuous extraction of carboxypeptidase A by this process is described below.
- the bioselective element consists of a poly(l, 2) copolymer described above, polymerized in a NAFION (Aldrich) membrane, obtained by evaporation of 10 ael of a 5 % solution of NAFION in a mixture of linear higher alcohols (Aldrich) on a very fine platinum grille.
- NAFION Aldrich
- a first step 1 10 grams of carboxypeptidase A are introduced into the compartment A, in 0.5 M H20-NaCl medium.
- a complexation on the [poly ( 1 , 2 )] -NAFION composite membrane then occurs immediately on the peptide units of (2), as described above in Example 3.
- An oxidation is subsequently performed, using a counter-electrode and a reference electrode which are introduced into the compartment B.
- the electrochemical oxidation leads to the release of protons in this compartment B, up to a pH of about 4, and to the immediate release of carboxypeptidase A.
- 1.2 grams of carboxypeptidase A were then recovered in the compartment A over one cycle of this continuous process, as was determined by assaying the enzyme activity.
- Example 5 Synthesis of a polypyrrole functionalized with a polynucleotide or oligonucleotide
- the electropolymerization solution contains 0.5 M LiC104 and 0.1 M monomer (III) in acetonitrile.
- the electropolymerization is performed on a platinum electrode of surface area 0.7 cm 2 , at a potential of 0.9 V relative to a saturated calomel electrode, SCE, using an electropolymerization charge of 30 mC.
- a black film appears on the electrode, corresponding to poly (III) , the thickness of which is about 200 nm.
- the grafting is also accompanied by hydrolysis of the succinimide groups, which are not substituted with the oligonucleotide, in acetic acid.
- the polymer obtained on the electrode thus corresponds to a pol ( [pyrrole-ODN] [pyrrole-COOH] ) copolymer.
- the recognition phenomenon was confirmed by electrochemical characterization of the poly ( [pyrrole- ODN] [pyrrole-COOH] ) polymer film obtained in Example 5c.
- the electrochemical analysis was first carried out directly on the electrode obtained after synthesis, and then after this electrode had been placed in the presence of the target ODN and the non-target ODN.
- the hybridization reaction of this polymer was thus performed in the presence of complementary ODN (target) and non- complementary (ODN) (non-target) , in an agueous solution buffered with PEG.
- the voltammogram obtained shows no modification.
- the voltammogram obtained, Figure 10 is different, with an increase of the oxidation potential to 0.40 V/SCE, equivalent to an increase of 60 mV. This increase is entirely indicative of a hybridization which has taken place between the ODN and the corresponding target.
- This increase in the oxidation potential is attributed to a phenomenon of complexation of the arm hanging along the polypyrrole chains, thus accompanied by an increase in the energy required to oxidize this polymer.
- the mixture is stirred for 15 minutes and the tosyl chloride solution is added in excess (32 g in 100 ml of THF) and drop by drop so as to have an excess of radicals and to encourage the reaction. Vigorous stirring is maintained during the addition and then for 1 hour. The product changes from an orange colour to a brown colour.
- 2 phases are seen to form. After adding 300 ml of water, they are allowed to separate. The aqueous phase is extracted with ethyl acetate. The first organic phase is evaporated to remove the THF, the second organic phase is added to it and the ethyl acetate is evaporated.
- the crystals are dissolved in dichloromethane and this organic phase is washed with water until the washing water is neutral.
- the organic phase is dried over anhydrous MgS0 4 , - filtered and the dichloromethane evaporated.
- Recrystallisation is carried out to purify the crystals.
- the 1-tosyl pyrrole is dissolved in 300 ml of heptane by heating under reflux for 30 minutes. On filtering at a Buchner, the impurities (coloured brown) remain on the filter and a pale yellow product is obtained which gives white crystals once the solution has cooled.
- the reaction is allowed to proceed for an hour under agitation and at ambient temperature.
- the entire mixture is then poured into 500 ml of iced water.
- the organic phase is extracted and the aqueous phase is washed with dichloromethane. This operation is repeated several times.
- the organic phases are washed with 1M NaOH to make the Al soluble and remove it with the water washings. At the end of the washing process, the neutral pH of the aqueous phase is checked.
- the organic phases are dried over anhydrous magnesium sulphate and the dichloromethane is evaporated.
- a recrystallisation is then carried out to purify the crystals obtained: the 3-acetyl 1-tosyl pyrrole is dissolved in heptane (500 ml) . It is heated under reflux, filtered at a Buchner and the filtrate placed in a freezer. The material in the bottom of the flask is crystallised several times. The heptane is evaporated and violet crystals are obtained.
- the esterification catalyst is prepared. This consists of depositing Tl (NO 3 ) 3 .3H 2 0 on clay. In a single necked flask, 55 ml of trimethyl orthoformate, is mixed with 45 ml of methanol and 22 g of Tl (NO 3 ) 3 .3H 2 0. This is stirred for 5 minutes and then 45 g of clay is added in such a way that a greyish beige suspension is obtained. This is stirred for a further 15 minutes and the solvents evaporated using a rotary vaporiser. Once it is well dried, the catalyst on clay is recovered in the form of a beige powder.
- the stirring is stopped and two phases can then be seen (an orange phase above and a thick phase with a greyish beige colour below)
- the organic phase is recovered after filtration.
- the methanol is evaporated using a rotary vaporiser and then CH 2 CI 2 and water are added.
- the aqueous phase is washed with CH 2 CI 2 and the organic phase (a blood red colour) with water in order to remove the thallium salts.
- This organic phase is dried over MgS ⁇ 4 and evaporated using a rotary vaporiser.
- ester methoxy-3-acetyl 1-tosyle pyrrole dimethoxy 3-acetyl 1-tosyle pyrrole the desired ester will be isolated on a silica gel column. Having made a chromatographic plate it may be noted that this ester is already isolated but nevertheless a column is used to remove excess clay (which remains at the head of the column) . For the column, it is necessary to use a mixture of two solvents of different polarity as eluent since using a suitable composition of the two solvents, better separation is obtained. Therefore a mixture made up of 30% ethyl acetate (polar solvent) and 70% heptane (non-polar solvent) is used. The solvent is evaporated and a yellow oil is collected.
- polar solvent ethyl acetate
- heptane non-polar solvent
- a rotary vaporiser is then used and a silica gel column is used to separate the- acid and the clay.
- the solvent is evaporated and a yellow liquid is obtained that crystallises rapidly. It is advisable to store it in ether in the freezer in order to restrict the risk of polymerisation. 2.7 g of product is obtained representing a yield of 82.6%.
- a product of mass 1.04 g is obtained representing a yield of 35%.
- reaction medium is acidified with 15 ml of 6N sulphuric acid.
- the two phases are separated and the aqueous phase is washed with anhydrous Et 2 0.
- the product is then in the NH 3 form and is therefore to be found in the aqueous phase.
- the product is then in the NH 2 form and therefore in the organic phase and is recovered, dried over potassium carbonate and evaporated.
- Homo- and co-polymers are obtained by electropolymerisation of corresponding monomers or monomer mixtures, in the following conditions : solvent : acetonitrile or propylene carbonate electrolyte : LiC104 0.1M potential : 0.9 V/SCE or current : 2-5 mA.cm- 2 or potential scanning between 0-0.9 V/SCE electrode : Pt, Ag, Pd, Sn ⁇ 2, Fe, Al concentration of monomer (s) : 10 "1 -2.10" 1 M.l "1
